I remember using coca-cola to clean aluminum. In elementary school, I did an in-class experiment by placing one of my freshly removed baby teeth in a glass of coca-cola. after 2-3 days, the tooth had dissolved.

By family were lumberjacks in the north east. My grandfather used to use Coke (the soda wise guy ;) on the split rims of his log trucks to bust the rust for a tire change.

You could beat those things with a sledge hammer for 10 min and not budge them. Rust had them locked together solid. But pour a bottle of coke around the lockring, wait 5 min and they would pop first hit.

This is news? I remember when the local Pharmacy had coke syrup on hand to sell to people who had nausea from being sick. You took a spoonful of the syrup and put it over ice and slowly sipped it and the nausea would go away.

Overeating is another problem. After dinner you would drink a Coca Cola and it would kill some of the indigestion.

One man I worked with years ago had a problem with keeping food down. The doctor put him on a straight diet of Coca Cola for two weeks.

After a week he was sick of cola so cooked up some bacon and eggs. Less than 30 minutes later he was heaving and puking. He went back on Coca Cola till the doctor took him off.

a study proving that drinking Coca-Cola (the brand name provided in the article) can open up clogs in people with overly convoluted gastrointestinal systems caused by the ingestion of digested fruits and vegetables.

Seems like the simplest solution is to stop eating fruits and vegetables.
